Eric Poulsen:

I've been thinking about distance racing and noticed your post on the general forum. Do you do this series on your Taipan?

I'd be interested in hearing some stories. Some months back you made some remarks about sailing under spinnaker that made my hair stand on end! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Big waves, heavy air and open water.

So before I bite off more than I can chew, how 'bout some personal insight. Please.
